If man is hungry within an hour,
more or less, after a meal he is a dys-
peptic. 1t shows his stomach is not able
to dispose Of what he has eaten. But
to eat again and thus impose more work
is an absurity. Take DIR. Jones' Red
Clover Tonic, which cures dyspepsia and
all stomach, liver, kidney and bladder
troubles. 1t is a perfect tonic, appeti-
ger, blood purifier, and a sure cure for

Miss Luse's Readings.

In accordance with the announcement
made in lastweek's HERALD. Miss Adelia
r. Luse, of San Francisco, will give one
of her delightful entertainments at the
Congregational church in this city this
Thursday evening, September s. Those
who had the pleasure of hearing Miss
Luse at the Pickard reception at Platte
vile, speak very highly in her praise.
The entertainment is given under the
auspices of the ladies of the Congregation
al church. The following is from the
Marysyille (Cal.) Appeal, under the
heading "A Wonderful Voice."
There was very good attendance at
the Presbyterian church to hear Miss
Luse read on Tuesday evening. This
lady has most wonderful control over
her voice, sustaining the most difficult
parts with the ease of master. Her
rendering of the Service of Song shows
that her voice is of wonderful compass.
Her masterpiece of that night was
the BELLS. The Rubenstein was ex-
ecuted in manner that held the audi
ence spell-bound. She has the praise
of all who listened to her reading
The following is the the program for
the Lancaster reading.

hope that all members of our union will
avail themselves of the chance of re-
ceiving one at our next regular meeting,
Friday, September 16, or call for one at
my home, any time.
-
Owing to the heavy rainfall last Fri
day at 3 o'clock p. m. no w. c. T. u.
meeting was held. The president, ever
faithful OF her charges, was promptly at
the church before the storm. There is
much to do and we earnestly urge all
members and those who wish to join the
union this year to be with us Sep. 16.
Lancaster has so many young ladies,
we are tempted to ask them to join us
in the temperance work and form a
"Y." A Young Women's Christian
Temperance Union could do gaeat good.
Girls sometimes do accept the company
of boys who drink, but none of them
want husbands who drink. "Ah' one
young lady says, ''you know boys and
girls may spend a great deal of time to-
gether but it don't amount to anything"
Yes, but it very often comes to some
thing. Young people often fall in love
without intending it. The only safe
way is to be sure your young man
never drinks.

The telegraph yesterday from Chicago
brought the intelligence that the Wells
Fargo Express company had completed a
contract for the extension of its business all
along the line of the Atchison, Topeka g.
Santa Fe, and that this would probably be
followed by general express-rate war
BEE reporter called upon
the representatives of the express
companies in this city yesterday and those
of them who were seen said that the telegram
was without foundation, at least so far as a
war was concerned. All that there was in
the move was that the Wells Fargo company
had secured right over the line which the
road above mentioned will have completed
into Chicago in a few days. This
express company has heretofore controlled
the express business on all the branches
of the Atchison Topeka e. Santa F'e road ex-
cept the Colorado & Santa Fe, and 1t was eX-
pected that it would secure the latest line,
which is now being built from Kansas City
by way of Fort Madison, Ia, to Chicago. 1t
was true, so said these local express men,
that there was time when, by common con-
sent express companies had territory which
was not invaded by others, but that time no
longer existed. The extension of the Wells
Fargo line, therefore, to Chicago, meant
nothing III the way of a rate-war

The large amount of inert matter or
residuum in both the phosphate and
alum powders will be noted. This in
the phosphate powders is largely of
lime; in the alum powders it is chiefly
alum. 1t will be gratifying to the pub
lie to observe that the powder in most
general use, the Royal, is also the pur-
est. l comparing the first two powders
on the list, for instance-the Royal and
DR.. Price's-thc inert matter in Prices
is seen to be about five in seven more
than in the former, difference of II
81 per cent, the Royal being purer
than Price by corresponding figure.
The carbonic or leavening gas pro-
duced by the powders indicates their
strength; and their true value may be
ascertained by considering the amount
Of this gas in connection with their
inert matter or residuum as shown
above. The higher the percentage OF
gas and the lower the percentage of
residuum the better the baking pow
der. These percentages, as found in
some of the most familiar powders, are
given as follows:

THE CHIEF BRANDS ANALYSED.

The Ohio state Dairy and Food Com
missioner, Gen. S. II. Hurst, has made
public Circular No. 81 the results OF
the Commissions Investigation Of Jak-
ing powder. This Commission was
formed by the Legislature, with in
structions to make an examination Of
the food supply of the State, and to
give report of such examination to
the public. The examination OF the
baking powders was made by Prof. II.
A. Webber, State Chemist, and, re-
lating as it does to an article of daily
use in the food OF almost everyone, is
OF particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought
out by the report that of the thirty
alyzed. composing about all those sold
in the State, twenty of them are made
from alum, a substance declared by the
highest medical authorities to be injur-
ious to health when used in food.
The Commissioner classifes the bak-
ing powders into three general divis-
ions, according to their value:
1st. Cream of Tartar Baking Powders;
Cd. Phosphate Baking Powders;
3D.. Alum Baking Powders.
The object of baking powdersis when
mixed in the flour and subjected to
moisture, to generate a leavening gas
in the dough, which will raise the bread
and cause it to be porous and light. The
Commissioner explains that the best
baking powder is that which, the in
gredients being healthful, gives off the
largest amount of leavening gas and
leaves the smallest amount of residuum
in the bread. A small amount of car
Donate of ammonia. which is considered
healthful, is used in some of the cream
Of tartar powders to give them a higher
strength. The Commission say that
pure alum is undoubtedly "a hurtful salt
and that the resultant salts from its com
bination with soda as formed in the
bread, can scarcely be less hurtful. The
report ranks the powders and shows the
amount in each of inert resultants
which in using it would appear as resi-
dunn in the bread, AS follows:
